How does it work?

When a tenant wants to move from one of our apartments we publish that apartment on our homepage for anyone to announce their interest in the apartment. A vacant apartment is published on the web for seven days. During that time anyone can register their interest.

On the eight day the computer system will automatically send an e-mail to five people who are first in line for the apartment. These five persons will be offered to look at the apartment and then give an answer within six days if they are still interested. When someone says that they want to sign the apartment we first do the usual review where we for instance investigate the applicant’s ability to pay rent. If the review is positive the next step is signing the contract.

Queue system

To stand in line for an apartment you first need to register your name and requirements in our system on our homepage. To stand in line for an apartment is free of charge. After registering you will earn one point per day.

When you search for available apartments on our website the queue point needed to become number five in line, will be listed for you to know your chances for signing the apartment. These points can change during these seven days that the apartment is advertised.

We also have another system of “first come, first served” which we call “direkten”. The apartments you find here do not follow the usual queue system. Instead the first person who announces interest in an apartment in the “direkten”, and passes the usual review, will be offered to look at and sign the apartment.

Personal Requirements

When you register as an applicant in our system you also list your accommodation requirements and an e-mail address. After you register your requirements you will automatically receive e-mails as soon as we have any available apartments that match your requirements.

Rental Policy

AllboHus are professionals who rent apartments to individual on objective grounds. AllboHus strives to attend to all applicants equally and treat everyone in a positive way. In order to receive an offer of housing, the applicant must have registered for the waiting list.

Stand in line

The first selection criterion in the allocation of housing is the length of the candidates queuing time/the amount of queing points collected. The candidate who has been registered in the queue the longest will be offered the apartment.

Cases of special priority will be decided by the Marketing Manager or CEO. Decisions that one person should go ahead in the queue could be made because of special ground. One example of “special ground” could be disabilities.

Priority will be given to people who got a job or starting a business in Alvesta. Primarily this priority concerns individuals who cannot commute from their current home or have other significant reasons why they must live in Alvesta to be able to work.

Economy

A prerequisite to sign a lease with AllboHus is that the applicant has the financial means to be able to manage long term payment of rent. Long term in this case mean that AllboHus wants proof that the applicant has some kind of stable income for at least 6 months ahead.

AllboHus accept the rent to be supported by guarantees from a creditor or by social services if the applicant cannot pay the rent itself.

Applicants who are in debt to AllboHus are not able to sign any new leases before the debt is paid.

Past misbehavior

Before signing any contracts Allbohus also wans to make sure that the applicant does not have any known misbehavior in his or her past. This we investigate due to the concern of our leaseholders. We try to avoid disruptive behavior from any of our leaseholders.

Information conserning Tenants

Error Report

If you find any errors of any kind in the apartment you should report this as soon as possible. It could be blocked drains, faucets dripping, failure of the refrigerator or freezer, etc.

The easiest and fastest way to report errors is on the internet which is available around the clock. If you report any problems on the internet then you can also follow your service order, and see anything that is happening with it.

The broadband is an open network where you can buy multiple services from different service providers.

Regulations for your accommodations

Insurance

AllboHus demands that all our leasing holders have a Swedish home insurance. This insurance will help cover costs that are caused by for example fire in your apartment. Make sure your smoke alarms in your apartment function.

Smoking

It is not allowed to throw cigarettes on the ground at any time, it could cause a fire. We cannot forbid anyone to smoke but we ask all our leasing holders to show respect towards neighbors who will probably smell the smoke in their apartment if a neighbor is smoking on the balcony.

Barbeque/grill

In the summer the majority of people want to go outside and enjoy the sun and warm weather. Just remember that you are not allowed to use a grill on the balcony. In our residential areas we have places where grilling is more appropriate.

Mats

Do not shake your mats from the balcony, your neighbor under will get all dirt on their balcony instead.

Driving in residential areas

Driving and parking of vehicles on footpaths within residential areas is permitted only when loading and unloading furniture for example.

Cats and dogs

Allbohus demand that cats and dogs are in leash within our neighborhoods. Make sure that you have plastic bags with you on the walk to be able to pick up after your dog or cat.
